2014 ALLUNY Newsletter 1 (2014-2015)

handle is hein.alluny/all2014 and id is 1 raw text is: I have an unshaken conviction that democracy can never be undermined if we maintain our library resources and a national intelligence capable of utilizing them. Frankhin D. Roosevelt Since the beginning of the year, I have been co-teaching a master's level information science course to budding librarians. The course in- troduces students to information sources and services which roughly translates how to be a reference librarian. During class discussions, students oftentimes wonder why we've chosen a particular article for them to read and, more importantly, how it relates to real life librarian- ship. As a teacher, I think it's es- sential to include practical examples during a lecture to give students a way to remember important points. I talk about experiences where I could have handled situations dif- ferently and where I would not have changed anything. I believe that admitting my errors to the students makes me seem human and ap- proachable. Furthermore, the stu- dents are more willing to seek my advice and mentorship after the class has ended. In the spirit of recognizing and ad- mitting our mistakes, we as an organi- zation should ref lect on what we have done in the past and, learning from these lessons, consider how we can further ALLUNY's aims more crea- tively and positively in the future. As an organization, I think we should strive to set a good example for those working in and using our librar- ies. That includes mentoring future librarians, creating programming that interests all individuals working in li- braries, sharing information with both law and non-law libraries, and provid- ing access to legal information. Re- gardless of your position in the or- ganization or in your library, you can help promote libraries and the invalu- able assistance they provide. Spring is slowly approaching which can only mean that the ALLUNY Spring Institute is right around the corner. The Spring Institute will take place on Friday, April 25, 2014 at the Syra- cuse University College of Law. Vice- President Christine Demetros is hard at work putting together a wonderful and interesting program. An invita- tion to the event will be sent out in the next few weeks. Please be sure to check your e-mail for further de- tails. I hope to see you there!
